Q. In case of a projectile motion, what is the angle between the velocity and acceleration at the highest point?

Motion in a Plane

Solution:

At the highest point, velocity is acting horizontally and acceleration (= acceleration due to gravity) is acting vertically downwards. Therefore, at the highest point the angle between velocity and acceleration is $90^o$.
